Lightning Round 2011.10.05

It’s been a lit­tle while since my last update, so I thought it might be time for another … Light­ning Round.

I’ve embarked on yet another facelift for the ol’ web­site. Expect some adjust­ments in the next lit­tle while. Of note, how­ever, are two new wid­gets on the right-hand side­bar: a list of selected pub­li­ca­tions avail­able online (includ­ing my lat­est, “The Android’s Dun­geon,” which is forth­com­ing in The Jour­nal of Graphic Nov­els and Comics) and my twit­ter feed (which I hope to make more use of here).

It’s time to wel­come another alum of the late, great SFU Cul­tural Stud­ies Read­ing Group to the ranks of the aca­d­e­mic blog­gers: Dylan Mul­vin, every­body.

Styl­ish! Via The Mary Sue.

After a cou­ple years out of the class­room, I’m work­ing as a TA again this semes­ter in a second-year qual­i­ta­tive research meth­ods class. I swear I never thought this stuff was inter­est­ing until I stopped hav­ing to take meth­ods classes myself.

Enjoyed @NYTOpin­ion­a­tor’s recent debate on naturalism—viz., http://t.co/c4sH45vq http://t.co/80aqEaXf http://t.co/PWq0usxQ #meth­ods #cmns262

Williams’s follow-up shows per­for­ma­tive con­tra­dic­tions present in hard­core nat­u­ral­ism as much as rad­i­cal pomo skep­ti­cism. #meth­ods #cmns262
